Sedona Citizens invested $9,000,000,000.00 in donations into the Sedona Cultural Park. Citizens volunteered countless hours for Sedona Cultural Park.
The Sedona Cultural Park was one of the last Forest Land Exchanges in the Sedona Area. This land exchange only happened because of the public good.
THE COMMUNITY PROMISE
During the lengthy land exchange several promises were made. The board of directors negotiated an agreement, “Sedona Cultural Park Contract With Sedona” of July 25, 1995 , This promised and pledge was printed in the Sedona Red Rock News.
In the Decision Notice the Sedona Cultural Park proposed Master Plan the development of the land would be under the guidance of the City of Sedona’ s Planning and Development process.
THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE
Proposition 400 during General Election May 21, 1996. The Voters voted for the Sedona Cultural Park.
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
Thousands and thousands of hours of dedicated and devoted labor and $14,000,000. million dollars were invested in the Sedona Cultural Park prior to it being sold. A $5 million investment was debt and $9 million was gifted as donations from residents in the Sedona area.
This has all been lost in the sale of the park, along with the park itself.
Detailed promises were made to save the park by Michael Tennyson but none of those promises manifested.
BOUGHT AS A CULTURAL PARK
The Sedona Cultural Park was purchased at a price lower than the Sedona Cultural Park assets recorded in financial records as a Cultural Park. The Sedona Cultural Park was removed from receivership and sold privately to Tennyson and partners a LLC. The buyer was involved with the SCP and fully knew of the restrictions and zoning of the property. RESTRICTIONS were also imposed on Yavapai College by Tennyson with a first right to buy the property back from the college.
